Now this is a white tea for white tea lovers. Or at least it has everything I love about white tea! I decided to brew this gongfu method, but the tea didn’t really vary between the steeps. However, I still think it was the right choice because I got 10 great steeps out of the leaves. I brewed 3g at 190F for 15/15/30/40/60/90/120/150/180/210 sec. Since the taste was consistent throughout, I won’t review each steep separately.
The leaves are just gorgeous! They’re all silvery green, covered in white fuzz. They’re extremely plump and soft to the touch. They’re pretty cute. They smell of sweet hay, which happens to be a smell that I enjoy a lot. The liquor is a very light yellow and the taste does not disappoint! It’s incredibly delicate, airy sweet hay accented by honeysuckle. Drinking it is such a calming experience and it feels like a real treat. Pretty much everything I want in a white tea! I’m sad I only bought one ounce.
Flavors: Hay, Honeysuckle, Sweet
Yum, yum.
